Very Good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
We had a lovely big room overlooking the bay which was really pretty at night.
Shame about the 3 huge cranes sticking up in the middle of it, as a new 20 storey building is being built.
Really enjoyed the lobby, bar meals, in house dining and the onsite cafe.
Friendly staff who were happy to have us check in earlier as we were soaked from the rain.
A great place to stay.
Beds and pillows were very comfortable. The reception, bar area, outdoor seating and lounge had a great atmosphere and was very appealing to relax in. The staff allowed a very early checkin after we arrived from an overnight flight. Will stay here again.
